Is it normal that i am paranoid about all this?

I have a constant fear while driving that people are following me, sometimes it's a fear that I'm being tailed by a cop that will eventually pull me. Other times it's a fear that someone is following me to see where I live.

At night, I have a looming feeling that if I don't constantly look behind myself I am in danger of someone that is following me, but if I take too long to look back I begin to feel too scared of looking behind me to behold whatever my mind has concocted.

When I used to date (in a relationship now), I would occasionally be scared of my date plotting an attack on me, mugging me, etc.

A lot of times if I walk into a room where a group of people are laughing I will assume they're laughing at something about me.

    There is a defense mechanism called "projection" that leads to schizophrenia. You are already part of the way there. You need to deal with people in good faith and realize they are generally helpful and also generally don't care about you. A counselor can help you do this.

    You may have Schizophrenia, but always helps to get professional advice!

    Your description reminds me about "paranoia disorder". You might want to check this up.
